The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn.  Bertolt Brecht quotes Those who take the most from the table, teach contentment. Those for whom the taxes are destined, demand sacrifice. Those who eat their fill, speak to the hungry, of wonderful times to come. Those who lead the country into the abyss, call ruling difficult, for ordinary folk. Bertolt Brecht quotes What do we mean by setting a man free? You cannot free a man who dwells in a desert and is an unfeeling brute. There is no liberty except the liberty of some one making his way towards something. Such a man can be set free if you will teach him the meaning of thirst, and how to trace a path to a well. Only then will he embark upon a course of action that will not be without significance. You could not liberate a stone if there were no law of gravity -- for where will the stone go, once it is quarried? Antoine de Saint-Exupery quotes I have always thought it would be a blessing if each person could be blind and deaf for a few days during his early adult life. Darkness would make him appreciate sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound. Helen Keller quotes When we accept any discipline for ourselves, we try to avoid everything except that which is necessary for our purpose; it is this purposefulness, which belongs to the adult mind, that we force upon school children. We say, "Never keep your mind alert, attend to what is before you, what has been given you." This tortures the child because it contradicts nature’s purpose, and nature, the greatest of all teachers, is thwarted at every step by the human teacher who believes in machine-made lessons rather than life lessons, so that the growth of the child’s mind is not only injured, but forcibly spoiled. Children should be surrounded with the things of nature which have their own educational value. Their minds should be allowed to stumble upon and be surprised at everything that happens in today’s life; the new tomorrow will stimulate their attention with new facts of life. Rabindranath Tagore quotes Art Exist for the human species. I think that all of the people who love art, those who teach art, and all of you should burn with the obligation to save the world Shinichi Suzuki quotes A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell, where his influence stops. Henry Brooks Adams quotes By and large, people who enjoy teaching animals to roll over will find themselves happier with a dog. Barbara Holland quotes The object of teaching a child is to enable them to get along without their teacher. Elbert Hubbard quotes The teacher is one who makes two ideas grow where only one grew before. Elbert Hubbard quotes |
